dbruce Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: July 2003 Posted: Feb. 20 2004, 02:44 I thought this was another 'chill out' kind of album. The first picture looks anything but chill out! Made me think of Shadow On the Wall actually!! David Back to top

Considering Mike's latest hobby, I'd vote for a motorbike helmet, with the computer screen reflected in the visor... Andreas Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 20 2004, 23:48 I think #4 is the most flattering, and it manages to incorporate a Maestro theme, which is good. #2 isn't too bad either, though I think it could have benefitted from the use of a reflector or a second light source just to lift the shadows around the eyes and place a small 'catchlight' in them - as it is, I find they're a bit flat. I like the general use of shadow to create mood, though. He doesn't look happy in #1! Used as the picture on the mikeoldfield.com main page, it rather seems to say "Get off my website!" I think it would work a lot better in black and white, it would suit the mood better and look rather more classy, I feel. I do like the allusions to 2001 with the motorcycle helmet in #3 - I thought that one was quite funny. Back to top

About pic #2 - it's really my fav one,although the light is not that good.That one should be the one to use on the main page of MO.com. Pic #1 - really don't like it as the main pic on the MO.com's front page.Mike looks bored and he should have done a much interesting pose,to invite people to come discover his webbie! Well,I'd love to see more new pics of Mike in some sections I think it needs some pics... -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Picture 2 I'm thinking ........coffee beans!!! (Reminds me of the old TV commercial in GB for Nescafe coffee)!!!! Picture 3 You boys and your toys! Nice picture of Mike and a nice image. Picture 4 Says it all. The man is a genius. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Mar. 15 2004, 08:53 Yes indeed it does look like someone is punching his chin. Tell you what though, dull as these portraits are they are still way better than the TB2003 promo shots. But why oh why is he using that first shot? Talk about looking pissed off with everything. Is this supposed to reflect something internaly Mike. Cheer up, you've just put together a new website and brought a new game out, things are supposed to be looking up. ps His look in that first shot is uncanily simmilar to the one I had on my face when a found I couldn't play TB2003 Back to top
